CVE-2026-4281 - Formlift Plugin

CVE-2026-4281

The FormLift for Infusionsoft Web Forms plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Missing Authorization in all versions up to, and including, 7.5.21. This is due to missing capability checks on the connect() and listen_for_tokens() methods of the FormLift_Infusionsoft_Manager class, both of which are hooked to 'plugins_loaded' and execute on every page load. The connect() function generates an OAuth connection password and leaks it in the redirect Location header without verifying the requesting user is authenticated or authorized. The listen_for_tokens() function only validates the temporary password but performs no user authentication before calling update_option() to save attacker-controlled OAuth tokens and app domain. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to hijack the site's Infusionsoft connection by first triggering the OAuth flow to obtain the temporary password, then using that password to set arbitrary OAuth tokens and app domain via update_option(), effectively redirecting the plugin's API communication to an attacker-controlled server.

Potential Impact

Severity is MEDIUM (CVSS 5.3). Depending on deployment context, affected components may be exposed to unauthorized actions or data integrity risk.

Exploitability Assessment

Exploitability is assessed as High based on remote code execution potential, low-bar exploit prerequisites.

Primary risk drivers: remote code execution potential, low-bar exploit prerequisites

Mitigation Recommendations

Validate affected product versions, prioritize patching, and monitor references for vendor remediation guidance. If immediate patching is not possible, apply compensating controls and limit exposure of vulnerable surfaces.

Detection & Monitoring

Track authentication anomalies, unexpected file writes, and suspicious plugin API activity around affected components.

Business Impact Lens

Prioritize remediation where affected components process customer data, admin sessions, or Internet-exposed workflows.
